Professional Development Institute

The WVU Professional Development Institute (PDI) is a
series of events to help prepare students for the practice of law by providing
information on the professional expectations and standards of behavior required
for a successful legal career.

Legal employers are increasingly demanding law students have the “soft skills” that
previously were found only in experienced attorneys. As a result, students must
accept responsibility for developing these skills outside the classroom. By participating
in these seminars, students are taking the first step towards investing in their
legal career and future professionalism.

The seminars will be held throughout each semester. Depending on time of day, lunch or snacks will be provided.
